I purchased this tablecloth at Oona's, a vintage shop near my office in Harvard Square, in August 2009. Sadly, Oona's was purchased by a new owner and they no longer carry vintage linens. Such is the fate of many of the unique stores around Harvard Square...gentrification seems to win out every time.

I created this tablescape to help advertise a tablescape contest hosted by Colorful Dishes. According to the database at The Vintage Table, this early printed cloth is made by Taylor Wellington Sears.

About Me

I enjoy collecting dishes made by the Homer Laughlin China Company, especially the Art Deco Fiesta, Harlequin and Riviera dinnerware lines. I'm always on the hunt for vintage tablecloths and other accessories to compliment my collection.
The background on my blog is gray to match my dining room walls. This lovely neutral shade showcases the colorware on my table. The other colors used on my blog reflect some of my very favorite pottery glazes: chartreuse, Harlequin yellow and scarlet.
If you like my tabletop or have questions, please leave a comment and I'll reply to you.
Go ahead...ask me about my deco dishes!
